i'm a technologist at large in erlangen, germany. i work independently at the intersection of developer experience, programming languages, and technical due diligence. i also have vast experience in security and networking.
i live for expressive systems and delightful abstractions. this has often led me to lisp and smalltalk.
- glamorous toolkit: a moldable development environment. i contribute to the core, build the llm integration (gt4llm), documentation, and various language integrations.
- carp: a statically typed lisp for realtime applications.
i contributed the macro system as well as various core macros (
setf, quasiquoting, string formatting etc.), stdlib things, and compiler ergonomics. you can find more of my work over at the carpentry.
- sbcli: a repl for sbcl that doesn’t suck. built to improve my interactive lisp experience outside of an editor.
- microml: a minimalist ml-style language compiler and interpreter in under 750 lines of python.
- mae: maps are everything.
- compfuck: a brainfuck compiler written in carp macros that runs entirely at compile time. an exploration of compile-time evaluation and language minimalism. if you’re fancy, think of it as futamura projections.
- cspfuck: brainfuck with actors, written in c, without dependencies, with a x86 jit.
- systems that are moldable, inspectable, and useful
- tooling that respects our time and attention
- speaking & writing about the things we do, because i love teaching & learning
